The crowds in Luke are so fearful of Jesus! Granted, he is doing awesome things while simultaneously calling them evil so I guess I would be scared of this guy too...
What caught my eye today was verses 24-26. These verses talk about an unclean spirit that has been cast out of a person but returns and brings friends. I think the message here is the danger of complacency. Going through the motions because you forget "the main thing." Everyone needs to refocus every once in a while just to make sure that they are on the right path. Later, Jesus reminds us to "consider whether the light in you is not darkness" (11:36) because while the bright shiny road in front of us might seem like the right path, God may be steering us down the road less traveled.
You know, my sister-in-law just became a lawyer, poor lawyers. I had no idea they build tombs for prophets, I'm gonna have to talk to her about that and see if she is still hiding the key of knowledge...
